Diasporic Perspectives on Borders in the Palestinian Films Salt of This Sea (2008) and Bye Bye Tiberias (2023)
Abstract
This chapter examines the navigating of borders in two films by Palestinians raised abroad which powerfully articulate the lived realities of occupation, displacement, and exile: Annemarie Jacir's feature film Salt of this Sea (Milh Hadha al-Bahr) (2008) and Lina Soualem's documentary Bye Bye Tiberias (Bye Bye Tibériade) (2023). Focusing on diasporic Palestinian women returning to their ancestral homeland, these films underscore how borders—geographical, political, physical, and psychological—serve as instruments of ongoing dispossession. By foregrounding the experiences of women facing these barriers, these films reveal the profound impact of exile on personal and familial histories. Tracing their diasporic ties to the land and culture of Palestine, the films aim to reinforce the bonds constantly threatened by the policies and practices of the Israeli state.
